Well I changed my tranny fluid over the weekend, and all I can say is WOW. What a huge difference it made for my car. I had two quarts of Royal Purple in the garage, so I just used that.
This is a very easy DIY job. If you can change your own oil, you should be able to do this. |

What's the best way to fill it back up? How do you siphon it up in there? You can't fit a bottle up to the fill plug.

JK. These little buggers probably get sick gas mileage and they probably do corner good as a shifter cart. I wouldn't fit in one but I wouldn't mind not having to stop at every other gas station to pump $40 bucks of 93 from the 12:1's and revups. |

I just called my local Toyota dealership and they said they use GL3 (or what is official Toyota oil) made by Esso (Imperial Oil)
Strange, no mentioning of GL3 on Redline or AMSOIL site. TSB on AMS just mentions GL3 Category as obsolete. http://www.amsoil.com/techservicesbu...le%20lubes.pdf |

in cold weather
I think in cold weather it could help with the shifting. Down here in texas where we only get below freezing once or twice a year I dont think it's worth changing out the tranny oil. My Car's 2009 maintenance schedule says to just check the tranny fluid. I'm not going to change it out until maybe 150-200k miles. I think you would have problems with the clutch plate and padel/slave cylinder before you would the gearbox, IMHO.

Never in my entire driving career have even considered changing the oil in a manual transmission. Your car would rust into nothing by the time this would become an issue.
